I read Newt’s dopey comments today and I stand corrected for any erroneous lame defense of Gingrich I made earlier. He just lost a lot of credibility.

I have long admired Newt, and have stood up for him many a time. Even have some of his books. But something is different now about him and it just saddens me that what he once offered did in fact end 40 years of conservatives wandering in the proverbial wilderness... And now Newt appears to want to lead the charge to return forever to the wilderness.

And it sure is strange that Sarah out of that vast wilderness is a voice of reason that speaks to what was a former Newt.

I am just sad to watch this transformation. And yet relieved there is a Sarah out there that make the GOP men's teeth chatter.

Sorry for piling on, then.

One sign of a conservative: They can admit mistakes. Lord knows I’ve been caught being wrong before in Freeper Land. Also note you didn’t try to spin your way out of this, either. Well done, credibility +++++!

And you gained credibility for owning up to it - I hope I do as well as you the next time I miss something.
